It's just that you're basically getting food truck vibes and what is essentially street food for a nice, full service price point. The food is hearty- you don't need to order much to get full. Stick to what this place is good at, arepas. They load it to the max and their assortment of sauces are pretty impressive. One thing I gotta say though, $10 for an orange juice is egregious at any level. I could be at the four seasons in Bali and that would still make me raise my eyebrows. Even then I ordered it like a doof and it was like 3/4 ice!! C'mon yall, just take it off the menu if it's like that. Overall, the 24-hour aspect is nice and the food is decent. I can see myself paying a premium after a long night out, but just watch what you get because that bill can run up quick.

The owner is very, very nice and a hard worker so his passion for his business shows in the high quality food. We will be back next time I'm in town!

I stumbled upon Rico Arepa on my way to a cute nearby beach called la poza de las mujeres. It's a…read moresmall place with outdoor seating, connected to a go kart course, but the food is fresh and excellent. I had an arepa de pernil, and it was absolutely delicious. The arepa was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the pernil was very flavorful but not overly salty, and the lemonade was perfect (tasty with just the right amount of sweetness and tang). I would absolutely recommend the place to anyone driving by. The owner/chef is Venezuelan, and the place has been around for 3 years. They have a selection of vegan arepas as well, so it is vegetarian/vegan friendly.

When we arrived, it was semi-busy, but the wait for a table wasn't long at all--8 minutes tops. Once we were seated, we really enjoyed the atmosphere and the warmth of the restaurant. We genuinely felt welcomed. Now, as far as the food goes... MAN, it did NOT disappoint! We were given plantain soup to start, which I had never tried before, and oh boy, it was tasty! Even though it was hot outside, I wanted more. For our entrees, I ordered the beef stew, and my lady ordered the codfish stew. We both gave them a 10/10! Both dishes were rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I honestly have nothing negative to say. Now, as far as the drinks go, we both ordered the PIÑA COLADAS. They were a little different from what I'm used to, but still very tasty! Overall, this was a great experience, and I'm glad TikTok put this restaurant on my radar. Definitely a spot worth checking out!

Seriously? After waiting all that time, I finally got my food and the order was wrong. On top of that, the food was overly salty. Yo soy boricua, but does everyone on the island heavily salt their food? Because never in my life have I had white rice from a legit, authentic Puerto Rican restaurant that was that salty This place was honestly a one-and-done for me. After hearing people hype it up and claim it was one of the best, the experience was a major disappointment. I make this food daily so it ain't anything special to me lol I only came here because my gf wanted some hole in the wall type of food.

Venezuelan owned spot in the Milla de Oro area in Hato Rey. Very popular breakfast and lunch…read moredestination for those who work in the area. As such, they only open weekdays and only for breakfast and lunch. They close at 2pm, after lunch rush. There is always a line for lunch but it moves quickly. Service is nice, especially from the owner. Not sure if they speak English. Seating is mainly outdoor, but they do have a few tables inside.they are located on the side of the MCS building, on Calle Bolivia. Street parking is available. You can also park in the MCS building, but the restaurant doesn't validate. Although the owner is Venezuelan, I've never seen them serve Venezuelan fare, so don't come here expecting arepas or anything else. It's mainly traditional Puerto Rican comfort food. It's served cafeteria style. Speaking of food, it is very good and affordable. Including taxes, the food comes out to just under or over $10, depending on what you get. They also serve a variety of smoothies.
